Of course the quality of the game is a concern to them. Otherwise they probably would get crucified by both gamers and media after what happened to AC Unity and Co. lately. So delaying the game to deliver a more stable product is just a simple business decision. It's pondering and minimizing risks and not taking extra risks, like in every other business. That has nothing to do with "having balls" since it's neither extraordinary nor unusual. Delays in gaming happen all the time.

They said that 7 months or so ago. Shit happens in that time
Ok but that´s the current situation and we cant do anything about it now, we can just complain about it and scream how they didnt keep their promise and want it to be released like tommorow OR show them trust that if they will take their time they will handle it. Which attitude would help the final game more?
Do you report extra information to the IRS for moral reasons?
Companies don't give out information that would could affect their financials because it could lead to liability issues with their shareholders. They've told us it's being delayed. If they release anything else, consider it excellent news as it means they still believe their product to be great. If they don't report, it doesn't mean the opposite. It just means they are probably listening to their team of lawyers.
I rather have a delay by two months than being disappointed by a broken game for the rest of my life.
Remember what happened to Gothic 3 - it marked the end of a great game series.
So I have to say respect to CDPR for knowing their limits and admitting them.
But... but... I'd still be very happy if PR had the heart to give us some gameplay footage to help with the wait.

I don´t think that "the rest of platforms" would be able to accept this...
even if I wouldn´t mind...
So?! Why don't you adhere to your self-made deadlines? It's a lot of fuss about nothing.
No more delay were promised,,, if you don't keep this promise you won't keep the others. Soon the will be expensive DLCs, plattform-exclusive edition and a copy protection to make it impossible to enjoy the game.
Now the release of the Witcher will always have a bad taste. Time to cancel my pre-order.

I'm not sure if I can follow you... I guess we already misunderstood each other in the first place maybe. Doesn't matter, it's not that important.
There is also this come to think of it:

The Witcher 3: "No more delays," dev promises
CD Projekt Red says, "This is not our first game; we are not newbies."

That was something completely different. Gothic 3 wasn't really rushed - its whole premise was way too big for PB in the first place. They were overambitious and they weren't able to deliver on the huge vision they had for the game. Even some more months of development couldn't have turned the game to what it originally was intended to be...
Well, the same could still happen to W3. And 12 additional weeks wouldn't change anything in respect to that.
Overambition is one of the core sins of game development...
I am about to go and take my first law school Finals exam.
I shouldn't have gone on the internet today.
If I get an F, I will blame CDPR.
